The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2005:514 advisory.

  - security flaw (CVE-2005-0756, CVE-2005-1265, CVE-2005-1761, CVE-2005-1762, CVE-2005-1763, CVE-2005-2098,     CVE-2005-2099, CVE-2005-2100, CVE-2005-2456, CVE-2005-2490, CVE-2005-2492, CVE-2005-2555, CVE-2005-2801,     CVE-2005-2872, CVE-2005-3105, CVE-2005-3274, CVE-2005-3275, CVE-2006-5871)

  - Fix ipv6 exthdr bug causing Oops (CVE-2005-4886)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Updated kernel packages are now available as part of ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4. This is the second regular update.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.

This is the second regular kernel update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

New features introduced in this update include: - Audit support - systemtap - kprobes, relayfs - Keyring support - iSCSI Initiator - iscsi_sfnet 4:0.1.11-1 - Device mapper multipath support - Intel dual core support - esb2 chipset support - Increased exec-shield coverage - Dirty page tracking for HA systems - Diskdump -- allow partial diskdumps and directing to swap

There were several bug fixes in various parts of the kernel. The ongoing effort to resolve these problems has resulted in a marked improvement in the reliability and scalability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

The following security bugs were fixed in this update, detailed below with corresponding CAN names available from the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) :

  - flaws in ptrace() syscall handling on 64-bit systems     that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service     (crash) (CVE-2005-0756, CVE-2005-1761, CVE-2005-1762,     CVE-2005-1763)

  - flaws in IPSEC network handling that allowed a local     user to cause a denial of service or potentially gain     privileges (CVE-2005-2456, CVE-2005-2555)

  - a flaw in sendmsg() syscall handling on 64-bit systems     that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service     or potentially gain privileges (CVE-2005-2490)

  - a flaw in sendmsg() syscall handling that allowed a     local user to cause a denial of service by altering     hardware state (CVE-2005-2492)

  - a flaw that prevented the topdown allocator from     allocating mmap areas all the way down to address zero     (CVE-2005-1265)

  - flaws dealing with keyrings that could cause a local     denial of service (CVE-2005-2098, CVE-2005-2099)

  - a flaw in the 4GB split patch that could allow a local     denial of service (CVE-2005-2100)

  - a xattr sharing bug in the ext2 and ext3 file systems     that could cause default ACLs to disappear     (CVE-2005-2801)

  - a flaw in the ipt_recent module on 64-bit architectures     which could allow a remote denial of service     (CVE-2005-2872)

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum.

Oleg Nesterov discovered a local Denial of Service vulnerability in the timer handling. When a non group-leader thread called exec() to execute a different program while an itimer was pending, the timer expiry would signal the old group leader task, which did not exist any more. This caused a kernel panic. This vulnerability only affects Ubuntu 5.04. (CAN-2005-1913)

Al Viro discovered that the sendmsg() function did not sufficiently validate its input data. By calling sendmsg() and at the same time modifying the passed message in another thread, he could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands with kernel privileges. This only affects the amd64 bit platform. (CAN-2005-2490)

Al Viro discovered a vulnerability in the raw_sendmsg() function. By calling this function with specially crafted arguments, a local attacker could either read kernel memory contents (leading to information disclosure) or manipulate the hardware state by reading certain IO ports. This vulnerability only affects Ubuntu 5.04.
(CAN-2005-2492)

Jan Blunck discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the procfs interface of the SCSI driver. By repeatedly reading /proc/scsi/sg/devices, a local attacker could eventually exhaust kernel memory. (CAN-2005-2800)

A flaw was discovered in the handling of extended attributes on ext2 and ext3 file systems. Under certain condidions, this could prevent the enforcement of Access Control Lists, which eventually could lead to information disclosure, unauthorized program execution, or unauthorized data modification. This does not affect the standard Unix permissions. (CAN-2005-2801)

Chad Walstrom discovered a Denial of Service in the ipt_recent module, which can be used in netfilter (Firewall configuration). A remote attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel by sending certain packets (such as an SSH brute-force attack) to a host which uses the 'recent' module. (CAN-2005-2802).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux 2.6 kernel have been discovered and corrected in this update :

A stack-based buffer overflow in the sendmsg function call in versions prior to 2.6.13.1 allow local users to execute arbitrary code by calling sendmsg and modifying the message contents in another thread (CVE-2005-2490).

The raw_sendmsg function in versions prior to 2.6.13.1 allow local users to cause a DoS (change hardware state) or read from arbitrary memory via crafted input (CVE-2005-2492).

The ipt_recent module in versions prior to 2.6.12 does not properly perform certain tests when the jiffies value is greater than LONG_MAX, which can cause ipt_recent netfilter rules to block too early (CVE-2005-2873).

Multiple vulnerabilities in versions prior to 2.6.13.2 allow local users to cause a DoS (oops from null dereference) via fput in a 32bit ioctl on 64-bit x86 systems or sockfd_put in the 32-bit routing_ioctl function on 64-bit systems (CVE-2005-3044).

Versions 2.6.8 to 2.6.14-rc2 allow local users to cause a DoS (oops) via a userspace process that issues a USB Request Block (URB) to a USB device and terminates before the URB is finished, which leads to a stale pointer reference (CVE-2005-3055).

drm.c in version 2.6.13 and earlier creates a debug file in sysfs with world-readable and world-writable permissions, allowing local users to enable DRM debugging and obtain sensitive information (CVE-2005-3179).

The Orinoco driver in 2.6.13 and earlier does not properly clear memory from a previously used packet whose length is increased, allowing remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (CVE-2005-3180).

Kernels 2.6.13 and earlier, when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled, use an incorrect function to free names_cache memory, preventing the memory from being tracked by AUDITSYSCALL code and leading to a memory leak (CVE-2005-3181).

The VT implementation in version 2.6.12 allows local users to use certain IOCTLs on terminals of other users and gain privileges (CVE-2005-3257).

A race condition in ip_vs_conn_flush in versions prior to 2.6.13, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a DoS (null dereference) by causing a connection timer to expire while the connection table is being flushed before the appropriate lock is acquired (CVE-2005-3274).

The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities. All users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels.
